OUR MISSION
Durham Community Land Trustees (DCLT) is a community land trust that builds strong communities by developing, managing, and advocating for permanently affordable housing. DCLT offers residents with low and moderate incomes a stable foundation for achieving economic security in Durham, NC.
DCLT’s goal is to avoid displacement for vulnerable individuals and families who want to live in a neighborhood with bus service near jobs, schools, parks, services, and public facilities downtown.
OUR VALUES
To us, there are no issues greater than affordable and workforce housing.
We believe in Community
- The majority of our board of directors are neighbors, homeowners, and residents.
- We develop and manage homes for sale and for rent because our neighbors demand both.
- We prioritize relocating our current residents when needing to rehab their homes, and selling to our residents whenever possible.
We believe in Equity
- We build strong partnerships with the city of Durham and other nonprofits to develop special needs rental housing that can provide safe and affordable homes to individuals living with disabilities.
- We also build affordable houses for veterans and seniors.
We believe in Sustainability
- We renovate properties in partnership with residents and local, regional, and national organizations to create tangible improvements for the community.
- We construct energy-efficient homes to reduce tenants’ utility bills dramatically.
